Quote by Antoine Rivarol

Speech is external thought, and thought internal speech.

Speech is external thought, and thought internal speech.

Summary

This quote suggests that speech is the manifestation of our thoughts and ideas in the external world, while thought is the internal version of speech. It implies that our thoughts and ideas are formed through a process of internal "speech" within our minds, and when we speak, we articulate and express those internal thoughts. In a way, speech serves as a bridge between our internal world of thoughts and the external world of communication, making our thoughts tangible and accessible to others.
